Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - 77317-404-34LF Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular Connectors - Headers and Male Pins are widely used in connectivity applications and structures. This article delves into the 77317-404-34LF series specifically and aims to explain the field of application and its principles of operation.

Overview of Application Field

77317-404-34LF series is a type of, two-row, 8-position Plug & Play/Bus connector designed for usage in a wide range of connector assemblies.

These plugs and headers offer a rugged design and feature a double-row header terminal, superior solder retention and easy assembly on the board.

Designed specifically for high-density miniature and low-profile designs, the 77317-404-34LF series is suitable for many industrial and telecommunication applications, ranging from telecommunications and datacom equipment, appliances, navigational systems, networking, consumer electronics and power supplies to automotive applications.

The 77317-404-34LF series is compliant with the RoHS directive and other accepted industry standards such as UL, CUL, CSA, VDE, ULVW, the PCT and also EN 61984. Additionally, its design is based on the industry-standard 26.3mm pitch.

Principle of Operation

The working principle of the 77317-404-34LF series is simple and straightforward. It consists of a number of terminals arranged in two rows. Each terminal has its own contact, which is designed to fit onto a mating connector. The contacts are made of a high-conductivity material, such as copper or gold.

The terminal is held securely in place by a combination of a die-cast shell and a retention clip. The die-cast shell provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is also used to hold the terminals at their proper height for electrical connection. The retention clip securely holds the terminal in place during operation.

The 77317-404-34LF series features two pins on one side for board mounting. The PCBs can be soldered or plugged into the bottom side of the connectors, depending on your requirements. The connectors are designed for surface mounting; however, additional steps may be needed for through-hole mounting.

The 77317-404-34LF series is a reliable and robust connectivity solution for a wide range of applications. It provides reliable connection and easy assembly, and is an ideal choice for industrial and telecommunication applications.
